Cedar Beach has been used as an informal dump for years. This August, 92 neighbors turned up for a first cleanup, filling 90 bags in a single morning. Now we want to restore it for good.
We have a plan agreed with the district council, including native species selected by a local botanist.
The area floods more each year, and fish have returned for the first time in a decade after our first cleanup. Restoring it will protect homes and bring back shade.
All the labor is volunteered. We just need materials.
We'll post planting day photos and a count of every sapling planted.
Where the $355 goes:
• Native saplings and stakes: $220
• Tools and protective gear: $35
• Waste removal and skip hire: $95
• Signage and educational materials: $5
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Sent it to 10 people at work. Love from Irapuato.
Wishing you peace, Margaret. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Dallas but we're thinking of you. Take care
hope you get there. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Good luck, Margaret. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
